“(Flyers GM Paul Holmgren) has also been candid enough to say, ‘Never say never. I don’t know what I’m going to be offered at some point, so I’m not going to guarantee you anything, except that I will give you plenty of warning if I do (buy out Ilya Bryzgalov).' … At the end of the day, (Bryzgalov) would rather look face-first into that storm and face the challenge and make the changes necessary for the goaltending to be part of the success Philadelphia has, rather than run away from it. Ilya Bryzgalov is a lot of things, but he’s not afraid of a challenge.”—Ritch Winter, Bryzgalov's agent, to Sportnet Radio (via Philadelphia Daily News). Speculation continues that Philadelphia will buy out Bryzgalov, who's overpaid and inconsistent.
